C321 Unable to fall asleep (1/2)

On the night Su Zeyi returned from the sacrificial ceremony, he stayed at Zhong Miao Yi's place.

The clatter of the clappers echoed through the courtyards, sounding even more desolate and prolonged.

Zhong Miao Yi woke up from her sleep. She did not sleep well tonight, but the noise outside told her that it was already five o'clock in the morning. Zhong Miao Yi blinked her eyes, no longer feeling sleepy.

The candle was soaked in melted wax, and the pea-like gloss seemed ready to go out at any moment.

Zhong Miao Yi laid still, staring at the darkness outside the window, not knowing what she was thinking about. Even though the one hugging her was Su Zeyi, she still felt warmth, she had already discovered long ago that people like Su Zeyi had similarly warm chests.

The Zhong Miao Yi laughed silently. Actually, that was all she wanted all this time.

A man willing to protect her, a home she could rely on to stay away from, she couldn't sleep. At night someone held her.

It was enough with this, and the current Su Zeyi had already done it, so she shouldn't make too much of a request.

As for the future. When the day comes that Su Zeyi gets tired of his, at least she would still have Zhong Jiming.

's arm moved a little, probably because she was feeling a little numb from the pillow. Zhong Miao Yi moved a little to give Su Zeyi some distance, but she did not know whether Su Zeyi had woken up or not.

He suddenly twisted her around with his other hand. Zhong Miao Yi was startled, and when she turned her head back, she could see Su Zeyi's cold eyes shining under the dim candlelight.

”Where are you going?” He sneered, his laughter somewhat muffled.

Zhong Miao Yi was startled for a moment, and then stung by Su Zeyi's question and eyes.

”Don't say it?” Su Zeyi also sat up, his eyes filled with danger, ”Where did you go today?”

He finally found out. Zhong Miao Yi lowered her eyelashes, not wanting to explain.

Su Zeyi angrily pinched Zhong Miao Yi's cheek, his gaze was filled with helplessness and viciousness. Zhong Miao Yi knew what he wanted to do, so she subconsciously pushed him. ”No way!”

Su Zeyi bent over and kissed her, as if he was going to suck her dry! Zhong Miao Yi pushed twice, but did not push Su Zeyi away.

He hated it, he bit hard on Zhong Miao Yi's lips, and the smell of blood helped Su Zeyi sober up a little: ”Where did you go?” He let go and asked again.

Zhong Miao Yi's stubbornness rose again.

Su Zeyi was once again agitated by Zhong Miao Yi's actions. He dejectedly flipped over on his back, the coldness of his body spreading all over his heart, and closed his eyes.

He knew the result, but he still could not help but look at Zhong Miao Yi. Her enthusiasm had already subsided as she laid in his arms in a stiff manner, her eyes drifting towards the bed frame.

Had she gone to look for Tang Yao? Zhong Miao Yi refused to say anything, causing Su Zeyi's heart to ache helplessly. She couldn't even hate her!

Zhong Miao Yi gradually closed her eyes. When she woke up, Su Zeyi was already gone. Last night, after tormenting herself for an entire night, her fatigue broke out, and Zhong Miao Yi moved, hoping to find a comfortable position.

It was very noisy outside. Although her courtyard was the quietest corner of the courtyard, the sounds of human voices still rang out incessantly. Zhong Miao Yi rubbed her head as her temples started to ache.

Ah Jiu and Bell were sitting under the porch in the sun as they spoke softly. Each and every word was extremely clear to Zhong Miao Yi.

”What's wrong with the Empress and the emperor now?” The bell asked, in exchange for Ah Jiu's silence. Ah Jiu looked through the door and sighed, ”I don't know.”
